Is the qirāṭ mentioned in the authentic hadith established merely by praying over the deceased, or is it conditional on following the funeral procession from the house?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the funeral prayer in the mosque or elsewhere, one receives a qirāṭ. This is established...

The Shaykh : The qirāṭ is not for the prayer itself, but for following the funeral procession to the prayer place, and then following it to the cemetery.

The questioner : There, it becomes two qirāṭs, as I understand it...

The Shaykh : It is in two stages. The first stage: the first qirāṭ is for following it from the house to the prayer place, yes. The second qirāṭ: from the prayer place to the burial, yes.

The questioner : Our teacher, the hadith that our brother Muhammad asked about is:
Whoever prays over a funeral من صلى على الجنازة
, there is a problem with its text regarding whether it is for him or not, I do not know how it is.

The Shaykh : This is it; and therefore we said that the stronger position is that it is for him.
Al-Halabi : And the one who reported that it is for him, meaning that he has no reward in a hadith in Muslim, I think it is the hadith of
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed over the sons of Bayḍāʾ in the mosque صلى النبي عليه الصلاة والسلام على ابني بيضاء في المسجد
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 36:22
.

The Shaykh : It is not what we referred to that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed with the people in it, but this indicates permissibility. This hadith is to dispel the assumption that since he prayed in the mosque, he has that known virtue. No, he does not have that virtue.
Al-Halabi : Ibn al-Qayyim in Tadhhib al-Sunan discusses this issue at length regarding him and upon him...

The Shaykh : Indeed, there is a problem in the issue because the two narrations are for him and upon him. Well, my lord, let us proceed, if Allah wills.
